me as well. now my career i wanted to start tout by saying my career has been spent tracking the traditional fire-based economy of finances, insurance and real estate. and, monitoring it's effect on the occupancies and values of commercial real estate. as we repeatedly seen, major job cuts and permanent down sizing are continuing in cities across the country. the fire-based economy we have known over our lifetime is rapidly shrinkings and trans forming good a new ice based economy one of innovation, culture - and education. innovation along with it's partner collaboration are being reflected in the explosive growth of the tech sector for each i couldn't engineer hired by pandora or twitter a multiplier effect occurs with

job openings create for eliminate oh, mow drivers bare resist at a asks and yoga instructor and is personal finances gore g u r u's and so as we have seen as multimillion dollar facilities being created on both sith of the bay and parts of the rising sports culture tour which we have an abundance of in pot of our cities education is being manifested by the strong and growing influence of our public and private universities in tandem with our expanding healthcare sector. in oakland in 2013, oakland will have three major projects under way for over $2.2 billion surpassing san franciscotion current healthcare construction.

we will get this keep it moving here ... it's a little the technology that we are talking about ... there we go. okay. office space previously used by the shining fire sector is now being converted into more efficient and open collaborative space forts ice users. here, we see pack bell's 680 folsome going from 300 square feet per employee in 195 to one 30 per employee in 2013 for macies.com and now moving on to the market stats and in 2012. office vaguey was were split with the o oakland v v b moving up to 17.5% in 2013. continued command for high-tech space in fraction will

push vacancies to lower single digit while oakland will benefit from nonprofit and rent sensitive tenants migrating across the bay. increasing 30% to $52 and 75 cents while oakland rents remain livable flat at $31 and i didn't cents look for increase in both markets in 2013 and this is a that is right that i constructed between year ago and it continues to hold true today. san francisco rents have been running in tandem with the ice based economy for some time and as you can see our current tragedy geek free doesn't reflects the.com era we saw 20 year ago. sealings force was the mark maker in 2012 with one .3 million square feet of new leases signed. ask.com and pandora continues to set the

stage for innovative tenants span expanding in oakland. office sales in the bay area courts of record recovered substantially with over $6 billion of transaction in downtown san francisco and 10010 merchandise sale least back of it's san francisco 5012 head quarters san francisco projects represent or 200 million square feet. in pre-leased to single user ice tenants while 2,222nd and five thrive mission are scheduled to break ground later this year with escalating represents triggering new office instruction construction in san francisco oakland's turn to build is around the corner now fraction's mid market is part of the city's most significant public transit corridor in 5012 the building at the edgy intersection of sixth and market

and also hometo mayor lee's election head quarters was leased by benchmark capital from the not to edgy sand hill road in pal low alto we have seen mid market morph from michael douglas and carl mailed den chasing bad guys to twitters 2012 move into 10th and market and now, onto doll bee sounds one million dollars acquisition of ninth and mark along with squared 250,000 square foot least at 11th and market new apartment construction continues as well this crescent heights high rise at the tenth and market and one money hundred van s into 400 apartments with unlimited views. now while san francisco has long 'em braced it's history igpublic transit the city is moving swiftly from

analogue to dig at that time the one .6 billion central subway is transforming land use along the fourth street corridor with the proposedded corridor moon plan setting the stage for the neck decade and looking further into the future the cal train yards at fourth and town send also known as the north end of silicon valley may under go under ground rails and mixed use towers up to 400 feet in height similar to broad gate station in london. now, here are the names of the inshat vattive tech firms recognized around the globe and head quartered in san francisco christen and brix retail and software in the cloud to digital media and online lodging governor pairy would give his it's to have any one of

these to move to texas and but don't count on it behind these are other tech firms and spin offs from bred says source such as twitter and paypal, online directorsy and is on demand transportation all head quartered right here in san francisco looks like a tech bubble you might say, well no doubt there will be failures in the future but new opportunities will easily be backfilled by the dna of innovation now etched in san francisco's economy these firms and more, will provide access to a mobile mercantile network of over 5 billion consumers in a few short years and the magnitude of the upcoming change to the bay area will be stung. we are still in spring training. once again, thank you mayor khan and mayor lee and we that i thank you for continuing to promote the company that is make it fun to

live and work in our respective cities. thank you. (applause) thank you dan those are some great visuals. let's see, i got a couple of more names so, to acknowledge for being here oakland city attorney barbara jordan oakland city counsel. pat concern ham. oakland port commissioner instead of butt inner and bryan parker and deputymary sandra sum sum. so, that was wrong sorry. mayor khan, you are going to have do me better on that. so, now, for a look at the economy and financial markets

broadly and also, drilling down into the region we are delighted to have tim quinn lynn an economist with wells fargo securities to she had light on what the future hold tim quinn lynn provides analysis on financial markets macro economic developments in the mainly economies in the world he writes for wells fargo monthly economic reports these are great report if you get them by-the-way, and provides regular updates on industrial production, business spendings and manufacturings and tim has flown across the country to be be us and so we are so delighted and so please welcome from wells far go tim quinn lynn economist: . >> thank you very much for having me here today. i have got about ten minutes to spend with you and in that time, what i would like to do is sort-of describe some of the big

challenges that you the united states economy faces right now and then kind-of lay out wells fargo baseline forecast for where he where where we see thing headed for the overall united states economy and at the end of high presentation i brought as me some terrific slides on the local regional market specific to real estate but only a great fool would use those after the presentation by dan that we just witnessed and so i'll probably concentrate more on the united states stuff and not impasse pipe hive and so we begin here with this graph the federal budget surplot plus or deficit. obviously it's been some time since we have run anything like a significant budget surplus we went into the recession carrying a farrell substantial deficit and obviously that really ballooned and got much much worse and what we are facing now are really the biggest bulletin deficits that the united states economy has

faced since the second world war we are moving in the right direction it's getling smogger and it's still a farrell daunting challenge and this is what was westbound bend the whole fiscal cliff last year and we ended up with an 11th hour deal to avoid the worst of the fiscal live kcliff and i'm not going to read all of the stuff on this slide but basically what we got was tax increases that effect the working poor primarily and the very affluent and not really not much of an impact on the middle class and you can may be have your own political opinions about that but the spending cuts didn't really take much effect at all. the spending cuts are now poised to go into effect march 1st and to make thing more interesting we run back into the ceiling debt much later and that rolls up
